Blake Lively’s humorous response to a fan who asked her to greet his girlfriend is causing quite a stir. The incident occurred as Blake was strolling around the Wrexham FC stadium during a women’s game on March 26, 2023, accompanied by her husband, Ryan Reynolds, who co-owns the soccer club. The game garnered a record attendance of 9,511 for a women’s domestic match in Wales, and fans were thrilled to spot the celebrity couple in the crowd.
When a fan seized the opportunity to get Blake’s attention and requested, “Blake, please say hi to Stephanie! It’s my girlfriend,” the “Gossip Girl” star responded with a mischievous smile, addressing Stephanie and jokingly suggesting, “You should leave him!” The lighthearted remark elicited laughter from the spectators in the stadium, and Blake continued engaging with other fans.
The fan, who shared a video of the amusing interaction on Twitter, witnessed the post gather over 141.8K views. In a subsequent tweet, he reassured everyone that Stephanie was not only happy but hadn’t broken up with him. Stephanie herself expressed her love for Blake Lively, stating that she was working during the match and was overwhelmed with joy when she received the video.
The fan, identified as Sam, shared his excitement about the encounter with the Hollywood star, praising her sense of humor. He also commended Ryan Reynolds for his decision to buy the soccer team, along with actor Rob McElhenney. Sam recounted the effort he made to capture the moment on video, emphasizing Blake’s kindness afterward when she clarified that she was just joking.
Ryan Reynolds, who acquired the Welsh club with Rob McElhenney in November 2020, has been actively involved and has frequently attended matches since the takeover. Blake Lively, no stranger to playful banter, had previously poked fun at her husband during a Wrexham game in January. She shared an Instagram story teasing Reynolds for experiencing anxiety during the FA Cup draw with Sheffield United.
During the recent AFC stadium appearance, Reynolds was spotted with Blake and their newborn baby, alongside their three other daughters. The team, co-owned by Reynolds and McElhenney, secured a 3-0 victory against York City in the Vanarama National League. Reynolds expressed ambitious plans for the team, aiming for a climb into the English top tier, emphasizing their goal of reaching the Premier League within the next decade. Despite the seemingly audacious plan, Reynolds remains optimistic about the club’s potential for greatness.
